Temporal Pearls

Chapter 61: Exertion

Seth was a silt kid but he became more silt and depressed that day. His parts had no choice but to take him to the hospital, thankfully they were told he was fine, mostly confused.

Seth sneered at the doctor's commt but he didn't refute him. How could that measly tech diagnose what a world-leading technology caused?

Seth was fucking devastated and was thought a lesson in a way. The damn game trapped him for two reasons. The Womb Evolution happed in days but his madness and poison took longer and thus he was forced to stay until he was no longer in danger.

The thing was if he was able to log out he would not be allowed to return but what if he never logged out!? That was his assumption and believed it was the truth.

However, he now wants to go back to the game for his reasons

Whatever to return back to the game he had to act normal again. Or else his mother isn't going to allow him. At night Seth behaved normally and spoke about the reason why he was upset.

And that garnered an angry glare from his sister that paid for his diagnosis.

Sling!

The momt he dived, Sarah turned to her husband and said, "I think we should stop him from diving if things didn't stop!"

Adam nodded. Things were going out of hand and he didn't like the feeling of not knowing what was happing.

Seth Avatar, on the other hand, sat, he was naked and covered in mud filled with leeches but not one of them sucked his blood. The staff wasn't with him, and only the soothing gourd was by his side.

He stood and walked back to the clearing with a downcast mood, reaching there after some minutes, however, he wasn't panting or gasping for air.

His muscles were more pronounced and his lean figure was perfectly straight. His black silky hair that smeared in the mud had reached his buttocks and his eyebrows were a bit thicker than in real life. And his eyes… were black but in the reflection of light, they became multicoloured.

What happed was that, wh he commanded the Womb to evolve, it was him that evolved first. And he obtained certain traits that didn't show in his status window.

Wh he decided to ban himself from playing, the Poison Beauty affected his evolution process and what he ate facilitated all that, making him undergo more changes than normal but also very fast.

The thing was that to support the evolution he has to feed on a lot of food in the game which will equate to the Nutrit solution he will be getting in real life. With the Poisoned plant that made him crazy as well as the insane hunger fang that gripped him, Seth wt on a beastial feeding, guided by an instinct for 5 days.

There were intervals of sanity but it was short momts.

Also, the reason why the Poison didn't kill him was that among the mixture he ate before he ate the Poison Beauty fruits was the cure he was looking for.

He reached the Clearing and washed himself. Ev though he was surprised by his status, he felt no joy. But th he felt hunger. He stood and walked out of the cottage and he ran his hand behind his ear and took something.

It resized to his normal staff and th to short staff. Th he pulled a small sword and his eyes turned to Aura Sight. Just 00m away from him he saw the image of moving dim red shaped in a sheep amidst the colour of Gre.

"Shoot!" Fast, the sword elongated and pierce the neck and blood flowed out.

Seth casually walked there with a bowl and fetched some of the blood th dragged the Ram back to his cottage. Skinning and other preparation were done fast and swift.

But th, he began to feel tired. Strgth leaving his body. He dropped everything and began cooking the meat. After it became tder he ate it th his strgth returned.

While he spread the meat slices to dry he wt back into the forest looking for his clothes. He ded up going a the whole damn thing before he gathered them. He doesn't remember removing them, but each part was in a differt location in the forest.

Without the need to wash them, he wore them. It was th he felt something distinct on his body for the second time—deep protection veloped him.

The first time he felt this was wh he wore them after the Transformation. He dismissed it because everyone will feel comfortable wh they wear something on their naked skin.

As he stood in the middle of the clearing, Seth removed the uniform again and threw them away and t observed his surings with Aura sight.

Th he wore them again while still observing with Aura Sigh, th he removed them, th he wore them. He repeatedly did that before he sighed.

"I need to leave this place!"

Seth's eyebrows furrowed deeply as he slumped to the g with a dejected look. His assumption was right. He was held prisoner in this place. And the forest has be trying to convert him into its animals.

But due to his Mtal Power and the fact he was connected with The Womb he was able to resist it. But it had managed to seep away all his emotion and he might d up becoming a husk devoid of a drive.

What was worse was that he couldn't leave without finishing the Quest.

However...what would ev happ to him in that crushing pressure of Gawee Contint wh he ev left?

Seth scowled more wh he thought about the reasons and why he needed to leave the forest.

Wh he was unconscious his body removed his clothes and that allowed the Forest Aura to seep into him and furthered some kind of condition in him and wh he wore the uniform he was protected to a certain extt from the Forest Aura and the condition slowed down.

However, it wasn't all bad because the condition also helped him improve.

"Exertion?"

[Exertion]

[Normal activities will not tire you out immediately until you Exert some strgth which will consume the points available. Reaching Zero Points, your health will drop from Good to Normal. That will bring your normal constitution back]

[Note: Having a very poor Constitution makes you unable to exert any strgth on your muscles. However, Evolving due to the Womb and nurturing under the effect of Living Roots Aura has giv you this trait]

"That's why I was able to move with ease."

From th Seth sat down and began to ponder how to finish the new Quest.
